XIntCollectionBase (Talon 3.14.19 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.neeve.lang.XIntCollectionBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

XIntCollection

Direct Known Subclasses:

XIntIndexedList, XIntLinkedList
```
public abstract class XIntCollectionBase
extends Object
implements XIntCollection
```
This class represents collections which can quickly be iterated over (forward or backward) and which an be made thread-safe and/or unmodifiable.

XIntCollections can be iterated over without creating new objects and without using iterators . [code] public boolean search(Object item, XCollection c) { for (IntRecord r = c.head(), end = c.tail(); (r = r.getNext()) != end;) { if (item.equals(c.valueOf(r))) return true; } return false; } [/code]

Alternatively XCollection}s can be iterated over using reusableIterator(), Utilization of this iterators does not introduce garbage because it is created once. This iterator may not be used concurrently by multiple threads as they are single instance by nature.
XIntCollections are thread-safe when marked shared (can be read, iterated over or modified concurrently). [code] public class Foo { private static final Collection INSTANCES = new XLinkedHashMap().shared(); public Foo() { INSTANCES.add(this); } public static void showInstances() { for (Foo foo : INSTANCES) { // Iterations are thread-safe even if new Foo instances are added. System.out.println(foo); } } }[/code]

This class was based on collections code from http://javolution.org, but modified for use outside of realtime jvms.

- Method Detail
  - size
```
public abstract int size()
```
    Returns the number of values in this collection.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface XIntCollection
    
    Returns:
    the number of values.
  - head
```
public abstract XCollection.Record head()
```
    Returns the head record of this collection; it is the record such as head().getNext() holds the first collection value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    head in interface XIntCollection
    
    Returns:
    the head record.
  - tail
```
public abstract XCollection.Record tail()
```
    Returns the tail record of this collection; it is the record such as tail().getPrevious() holds the last collection value.
    
    Specified by:
    
    tail in interface XIntCollection
    
    Returns:
    the tail record.
  - valueOf
```
public abstract int valueOf(XCollection.Record record)
```
    Returns the collection value for the specified record.
    
    Specified by:
    
    valueOf in interface XIntCollection
    
    Parameters:
    record - the record whose current value is returned.
    
    Returns:
    the current value.
  - delete
```
public abstract void delete(XCollection.Record record)
```
    Deletes the specified record from this collection.
    Implementation must ensure that removing a record from the collection does not affect in any way the records preceding the record being removed (it might affect the next records though, e.g. in a list collection, the indices of the subsequent records will change).
    
    Specified by:
    
    delete in interface XIntCollection
    
    Parameters:
    record - the record to be removed.
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if not supported.
  - unmodifiable
```
public XIntCollection unmodifiable()
```
    Returns the unmodifiable view associated to this collection. Attempts to modify the returned collection result in an UnsupportedOperationException being thrown.
    
    Specified by:
    
    unmodifiable in interface XIntCollection
    
    Returns:
    the unmodifiable view over this collection.
  - shared
```
public XIntCollection shared()
```
    Returns a thread-safe read-write view of this collection.
    
    The default implementation performs synchronization on read and write. Sub-classes may provide more efficient implementation (e.g. only synchronizing on writes modifying the internal data structure).
    
    Having a shared collection does not mean that modifications made by onethread are automatically viewed by others thread. Which in practice is not an issue. In a well-behaved system, threads need to synchronize only at predetermined synchronization points (the fewer the better).
    
    Specified by:
    
    shared in interface XIntCollection
    
    Returns:
    a thread-safe collection.
  - iterator
```
public XIntIterator iterator()
```

    Specified by:
    
    iterator in interface XIntCollection
    
    Returns:
    an iterator over this collection's elements.
  - reusableIterator
```
public XIntIterator reusableIterator()
```
    Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection. This iterator may only be used by a single thread at a time. This method invokes XCollectionIterator.toFirst() on the iterator prior to returning it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    reusableIterator in interface XIntCollection
    
    Returns:
    an iterator over this collection's elements.
